Food adventures at the Pancakes on the Rocks

Hi! If you live in Sydney then you might be familiar with the restaurant "Pancakes on the rocks". They have a few locations in Sydney and are quite popular. Today I'll be sharing a few dishes that I have tried and talk a bit about my experience =)

5 Simple ways to incorporate physical activity into your everyday life

Hi! Today I'll be doing my first ever fitness post. This may be somewhat random but nonetheless...
Although I'm definitely no expert, I've been really trying to improve my overall health these days. Most of you may already know but Australia isn't exactly the healthiest country out there, in fact obesity rates have doubled in the past 20 years!

No matter what age or what size you are, physical activity is essential to your general well-being. Many of us don't exercise because we are too busy, don't have time or are simply too lazy so today I'm going to share 5 ways that you can incorporate physical activity into your life by doing everyday activities.

1. Take the stairs instead of the escalators. Although it doesn't sound like it will make a difference, trust me it will add up in the long run.

2. Park your car at spot furthest away from the entrance of the shopping centre. Many of us fight for that parking spot that's right next to the entrance of our local shopping centre but why not park as far away as possible and incorporate some physical activity?

3. If you use public transport, get off at the bus stop before yours and do that extra little walk. Of course, this might not apply to everyone!

4. Shop in-stores rather than online. Trust me, when Carrie Bradshaw said that shopping was her cardio, she wasn't joking. Walking around the shopping centre with all of your shopping bags is a actually pretty good work out; it's tiring but fun =P

5. Exercise in front of the TV. Instead of sitting on the couch, you can do some stretches or simple exercises such a squats.

I hope that these points were helpful! If you have any tips feel free to leave them in the comments below =)

Collective Haul: Dotti, Trade Secret, Valleygirl, Sportsgirl, Quirky Circus, Zara

Hi! I'm back with another haul...this time a collective haul =)

Firstly, I wanted to share my purchases from Trade Secret. If you're not familiar with this store, it's basically a store that sells a lot of branded goods for a much lower price. The store itself reminds me of Kmart/Target due to their red and white logo and brightly lit store BUT it is 100x better! They sell clothing, accessories, beauty items (like OPI nail polish!) home goods and branded handbags including Micheal Kors and Versace!
Anyways, you may have seen this picture floating on my instagram here but I thought that I would give the details in this post.

Forever New Haul

Hi! Today I'm finally posting my Forever New haul which I mentioned some time ago. It's not a very big haul but none the less, here is everything I purchased:

Review: River Island watch from asos.com using starthere.com.au

Back in May, I made my first ever purchase from asos.com (surprise surprise!). I had been eying this watch for the longest time and was patiently waiting for it to go on sale. Unfortunately that never happened but after discovering a cashback website - starthere.com, I somewhat justified the price and bought the watch! More details below =)

Wishlist: Spring fashion

Happy Spring everyone! (I'm a tad late but nonetheless...)
I can't believe it's finally Spring here in Sydney and it actually feels like it. The weather has been so nice lately which has been a pleasant surprise.
Today I wanted to share my Spring wishlist in celebration of the new season =)

Food adventures at the Grounds of Alexandria

Last month I finally got the chance to go to the Grounds of Alexandria which is a pretty well-known cafe/bakery in Sydney. I had heard many great things about this place but never really had the chance to go there since it is kind of in the middle of no where. Nonetheless, I finally settled a day with a few of my friends and off we went. So today I'll be sharing my experience at the Grounds of Alexandria =)
